Blog Tour Review: Falling Into Bed With A Duke by Lorraine Heath

Posted November 4, 2015 by Wendy in Blog Tour, Reviews / 2 Comments

My Thoughts: I recently got into historical romance this year and could not have been happier to discover this amazing genre that I now love! In Falling Into Bed With A Duke, we meet Minerva Dodger. Minerva is quite tired of all the suitors that come after her for her dowry and don’t spare a glance at her at all. I loved Minerva. She is this super spunky, smart, outspoken woman that men wrinkle their nose at because that’s not how […]

Why Did I Read? I was SO excited to hear that Rae Carson was coming out with a new fantasy series! I adored her Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so I could not have been more elated! My Thoughts: First off, this book was not what I expected at all. I think I was expecting a fantasy akin to Rae’s previous series but Walk On Earth A Stranger felt primarily historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. For me, this didn’t pose a problem […]

Why Did I Read? I’ve seriously loved all of Megan Erickson’s books so this was a no brainer! My Thoughts: I was so happy to be back with the Paytons! I just love all members of this crazy family and couldn’t wait to get Brent’s story. Since Dirty Thoughts, I was excited for Brent because he’s just a funny, carefree, guy. He’s the one who tells the jokes and he had me cracking up continuously in the previous book. In Dirty Talk, […]

DNF Review: Legacy of Kings by Eleanor Herman

Posted October 22, 2015 by Wendy in Mini Reviews, Reviews / 2 Comments

My Thoughts: I DNF-ed at 36%. I was really looking forward to this. It’s supposed to be a historical fiction story of Alexander the Great mixed with fantasy elements. It sounds amazing! It’s totally something I’d be into. Unfortunately, this did not work out for me. And I tried really hard to push through. First of all, the tense it’s written in really threw me. It’s written in 3rd person present tense and I struggled with this. It kept jolting […]
